It is excellent news for everyone in Hasluck this week with the announcement of two further tax cuts on top of the tax cuts that we already delivered last year. They are not one-offs but permanent tax cuts that will help with the cost of living year in, year out. But now the Liberals say that, if the coalition are elected in May, they will legislate to remove the tax cuts. Liberals making Australian workers pay more tax? Unbelievable!

But this election is not just about tax cuts. Tax cuts are not the only thing at risk. Everything is at risk with the Liberals. Everything that you asked me to deliver, that you asked this government to deliver and that we have delivered is at risk: energy bill relief, secure jobs, higher wages—at risk; our record investments in Medicare, cheaper medicines and urgent care clinics—at risk; our record investments in housing to build more homes—at risk; our investments in early education, schools, free TAFE and reductions in HECS debts—at risk. The Liberals need the Senate to remove your tax cuts. Do not vote Liberal in the House or the Senate. Don't trust Dutton.
